Padasjoki

Nakukymppi nude run in mid-June at Vesijako will kick off the summer season. After that, summer at Padasjoki offers a variety of events and attractions all the way until the end of August. The summer will be crowned by Sahan Valot (Sawmill Lights), an event arranged at the idyllic factory milieu of Mainiemi sawmill.

The municipality of Padasjoki has renovated the sawmill into a community event and culture space that can be rented by individuals and businesses for short-term events. Mainiemi caravan area, Padasjoki harbour, exercising areas and a lookout tower are also located near the sawmill. ■

In the centre of Padasjoki, along Keskustie street, there is a summer market with plenty of activities on summer Friday evenings. You can buy local delicacies or just pop in for a coffee. All the schedules of summer events will be announced later on the municipality’s website.
